WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Closing out our introductions of the BoilerBall newcomers is freshman P.J. Thompson, a 5-10, 188-pound guard out of Indianapolis and Brebeuf Prep.

Thompson was Purdue's most-recent signee, giving his verbal pledge in March to head coach Matt Painter and then signing during April's spring period. As a senior, Thompson averaged over 24 points per game while being named an Indiana All-Star and one of the most-underrated recruits in the Big Ten by SportsWatch.com(.) He also earned a spot on the prestigious Indianapolis Star Super Team and competed in the Indiana Junior-Senior All-Star Game. He showed off his scoring prowess by finishing his career as the second-leading scorer at Brebeuf and tallying 40 points in the Indianapolis Legacy Showcase following his junior season.

Despite all the points, Thompson is a consummate team player. His main focus, as evidenced in his video, is getting others involved while being a true point guard running the office. He is also a very mature player for his age and will be looked on as a leader during this year and beyond.
